[Spy Versus Spy]

I read a book on the Starkweather killings. So what is the consensus- was his girlfriend a victim or an accomplice? Should she have gotten out of prison?

Id have to read a bit about it first, KR. Can you remember the book title?

 

[Spy Versus Spy]

"A boy with an anomaly.

Charles was born with very weak legs and a speech impediment.
His congenital anomaly caused him much humiliation from his peers, who mocked his physical differences.
This led to him feeling inferior.
As a student, he did not excel.
Teachers claimed he did not apply himself to his studies.
This was due to myopia, which was diagnosed only in adolescence.
These differences accumulated over the years,
and his feelings of injustice and envy towards those who were more athletic and handsome than him grew.

The escapade truly began when Charles murdered Caril's parents.
(She was only 13 when they met).
He did so because they stood in the way of his relationship with his beloved.
As if sensing the dangers of this relationship,
the girl's mother and stepfather ordered Charles to stay away from her.
This decision proved to be a death sentence for them.
Although Caril didn't participate in the murder,
she calmly ate breakfast while Charles murdered her two-year-old sister.
For a week,
they shared the house with the corpses.

Then they embarked on a murderous journey,
during which they brutally murdered 11 people."

Rodzice zabronili im się spotykać. Tym samym podpisali na siebie wyrok

Historia tej brutalnej pary zainspirowała Olivera Stone’a do nakręcenia filmu "Urodzeni mordercy", Bruce’a Springsteen'a do zaśpiewania utworu "Nebraska", a Terrence'a Malick'a do nakręcenia filmu "Dzika jazda". Oto historia Charlesa i Caril — zakochanych nastolatków, z rąk których zginęło 11 osób.

I’m sorry I can’t. It was so long ago- back in the 90s when I was reading one true crime book after the other. I’ll browse the net and bring back a link if I find something familiar.

That’s possible @Gemmie . I also saw there is one titled Wasteland by John Douglas that sounds familiar as well and he’s a favorite true crime author of mine. I couldn’t find a link for that one.
